The Official site RECOMMENDS a p3700.
Now, I have an AMD xp1900+ with 512 DDR ram and Geforce 3 TI500. This is one of the fastest rigs out today.
I usually play all my games at 800 by 600 max detail with quinox anti aliasing.
Ever game I have runs butter smooth with this set up. Even games of Wolfenstien MAX detail at this setting with 64 players run without problems.
Medal of Honor totally tears up my pc. Single player will range from around 80-100 fps to as low as 16 fps depending on what is going on. In multiplayer omaha and bridge with players 20 or over I see frames go as low as 18 as well. then go up to 100 when I am in a room or something. I thought I was nuts or doing something wrong. So I also tested it on a dell p2000 with 512 and geforce 3 ti500 as well. SIMILAR RESULTS.
These are pretty much the 2 fastest pc's around(with exception of the 2.2 and xp2000 which were just announced). You want to explain to me why I cant run this game on these machines with max detail and anti aliasing?
I also tried disabling the anti-aliasing and I STILL am seeing frames go into the low 20's and LOWER sometimes in the same situation. In my opinion there is something wrong here. Anyone have any thoughts?

I am on 1ghz p3, 256 ram, geforce 2 gts 32mb. I usually get anywhere from 20-80 in single player, and around 20-30 on multiplayer. I run at 32 bit with most things at high. I think the game was just programmed bad or something, all other games on my computer run fine except for this. Maybe they can release a patch that will fix this?

I honestly have NO CLUE, I am going to put up a full review of this title on Suckatana.com complaining about this frame rate issue.. they need to fix this sort of thing.. I can understand if it doesnt run perfectly on your machine but not a 2 gig intel and an amd xp1900...

There's a good side in all this, we will get patches that will improve the engine.
Specialy if the sales rate keeps on going as strong as it is now for a few more month's.

I would never say any Dell is one of the fastest machines around. They're fast, but not the fastest. For the fastest machines around, buy one with no proprietary parts in it (which Dell uses) like an Alienware or VooDoo, Falcon Northwest or Hypersonic. Not only are these machine ALL standard BRAND NAME parts, right down to the motherboard, but these custom PC makers also tweak the machines for optimum performance before they ship to a customer.
I am currently running MOH on an Alienware, 1.8 P4, 512 meg PC800 RDRAM,GeForce3 (not a Ti) with a Soundblaster Audigy. The game runs smooth as a movie, and that is at 1600X1200 resolution with EVERY option turned on and at the maximum setting.

1 note:
I think it was about a year after its release before computers were being sold with specs that could run the "Quake 3 arena" game at the higher graphics settings.
However i don't think 2015 should do this kind of thing.
Also, they have already announced mor MOH titles which will come out in a year or something, these will probably have the same system requirements, but by then maybe they will be making computers that can run the games better - ie above 30 fps.
For now, i'm sticking with my pentium 600 and TNT2 - on which i get 10fps - 60fps on meduim to low settings.

I just tested my box.
P4 2 gig with 1 gig RDRAM and a gforce3 64meg. WinXP with all the updates and det 21.83 drivers, Running off a 36Gig Utra160 drive hooked up to a Adaptec160 card.
I tested the Omaha map and I ranged from 80fps on the landing crafts just when the door drops down to ~38fps 1/2 across the beach. all setting on high. Res is set to 1024x768 no need for me to go any higher as It looks the same

Try 16 bit color and 32 bit textures.
You might notice any visual change but a major boost in FPS.
